And now…

  • My Dearest Sunshine

    Dear BJ, I’ve been writing you letters since the day I left the hospital without you. A letter a day for every day you were in the NICU (four long and difficult months), every birthday and every milestone. So I think it’s fitting that I write a letter to you today to tell you how Read more
